Tam w ten czas przyszedł do nich Tatanaj, który był starostą za rzeką i Starbuzanaj i towarzysze ich i mówił tak do nich: Z czyjegoż wy rozkazania budujecie ten dom i mury jego z gruntu wywodzicie?
W tym też czasie zjawili się u nich Tatenaj, namiestnik prowincji położonych za Eufratem, oraz Szetar-Boznaj. Przybyli oni wraz ze swoimi współpracownikami i zapytali: Kto wam udzielił pozwolenia na budowę świątyni i na jej wykończenie?

Tatnai: Tatnai was governor of the provinces which belonged to the Persian empire west of the Euphrates, comprehending Syria, Arabia Deserta, Phoenicia, and Samaria. He seems to have been a mild and judicious man, and to have acted with great prudence and caution, and without any passion or prejudice. Ezra 5:6, Ezra 6:6, Ezra 6:13, Ezra 7:21, Nehemiah 2:7-9
Who hath commanded you: Ezra 5:9, Ezra 1:3, Matthew 21:23, Acts 4:7

Gill's Notes on the Bible
At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai, and their companions,.... These were new governors and officers under the king of Persia in those parts, the old ones, Rehum, Shimshai, c. being either dead, or removed upon this new king coming to the throne: these came to the Jews,
and said thus unto them, who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall? for it seems by this time they had raised up the walls of the temple from its foundation to some height for of these it must be understood, see Ezra 4:8 for it can hardly be thought they were as yet enclosing it with a wall round about it; now they asked them by what authority they did this? who set them to work? and what were their names? for that this question was asked, though not here expressed, is clear from Ezra 4:10 and to which an answer is given in the next verse.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Governor on this side the river - Compare Ezra 4:10 note. Tatnai was apparently satrap of Syria, which included the whole tract west of the Euphrates from Cilicia to the borders of Egypt. Zerubbabel must have been, to some extent, under his authority.
Who hath commanded you to build? - There was no doubt a formal illegality in the conduct of Zerubbabel and Jeshua: since all edicts of Persian kings continued in force unless revoked by their successors. But they felt justified in disobeying the decree of the Pseudo-Smerdis (see the Ezra 4:7 note), because the opposition between his religious views and those of his successor was matter of notoriety.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezra 5:3. Tatnai, governor — He was governor of the provinces which belonged to the Persian empire on their side of the Euphrates, comprehending Syria, Arabia Deserta, Phoenicia, and Samaria. He seems to have been a mild and judicious man; and to have acted with great prudence and caution, and without any kind of prejudice. The manner in which he represented this to the king is a full proof of this disposition.
